I am an M.Tech structural engineering student working on the project ' Numerical analysis of Kath-kuni architecture ( a common masonry typology ) in Himachal Pradesh region of India subjected to earthquake loading in ABAQUS software' . The question of concern is that I am finding it difficult to input plasticity parameters for timber/ wood material that I have used in my model even after searching in various research papers. I have got only elasticity parameters and wood being an orthotropic material requires plasticity parameters and a plasticity damage model to be defined in order to understand the actual material behavior in ABAQUS software. So, kindly help me in finding the plastic properties and a damage model for timber, it would be very helpful to proceed in my current project.

Thanks and regards
